I am here. I am a bit concerned about myself right now. I went to a neurologist for some big problems that I am having related to both my long term and short term memory. He thinks they may be “brain spasms” which are actually cerebral vasospasms. This is where blood vessels begin to close up restricting blood flow in the brain. I can see where this can cause small strokes. I think these are referred to as TIA (Transient Ischemic Attack). I think these mini strokes can explain much of my current memory problems. This can also lead to vascular dementia. Not good at all. So actually I am very concerned. I do not want anyone to operate on my brain. I need it. One OOPS by the doctor can do me in. There is still a chance allot of this is my medication.

PS At least the doctor’s test for dementia showed I am still OK. However, there was one time I had trouble with it.
